I can't offer anything with regard to this. But, if you have not already done so, you might consider re-posting this in the Psychiatric Medications forum. Here's a link:

I don't know much about Lexapro but if you have concerns you should definitely bring them up to your doctor.

It's an antidepressant so a lot of ppl w bp will have to stay away from it due to risk of manic/mixed episodes, but if you're depression dominant and your manias are mild and infrequent it might be a good med for you. Everyone reacts differently to each med. How about give it a try, be on the look out for symptoms of going up, and be in contact with whoever prescirbed it for you in case that does happen?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
